THe UK's mathematical ability seems to be slipping down the world league, so I have this idea:
Rachel should present a set of maths DVDs to help with revision in the subject,
whether it be for KS3, GCSE or A-level.
She could also make some adult numeracy DVD's.
Example: How many lengths of a 25-metre swimming pool make 1 km ? (preferably with Rachel posing in the swimsuit !)
Her beauty and brains would make a winning combination.
Can Rachel make maths fun ?

Re: Can Rachel make maths fun ?
In answer to the original question - potentially, yes. I still have bugbears about the presentation of stages in contestants' calculations and think that what we see can't be recommended to anyone who wants to learn maths (let alone the numbers game) and properly - surely it could not pass as educational and would fall foul of examination criteria, for instance.
But Ms Riley commands popularity and is a very amiable host, and I'm sure she will be a great ambassador for the subject anon in some capacity.
